That didn’t take you long.

Whilst we all appreciate your crusade, since it is done with noble intentions, once again I need to remind you of the limitations of CWS in FJ operations. During any form of visual air combat (I mean this generically since I do not know the circumstances of yesterday’s accident) no current or conceivable CWS will ever be of any real use. There are clearly many other circumstances where it could be useful, hence I agree with your desire to see it fitted, but please don’t try to give anyone the impression that it is a panacea.

We currently have no idea what happened yesterday over the North Sea and indeed if a collision happened. I think it is a little soon to bring up this argument.
